Sister to Levi Joseph and Griffin Cole - the short list! Both of my boys’ middle names honor family members…but all of my girls (except Diana, for my MIL Diane) names are just combos I really like. Should I work harder to choose an honor name for her?! lol
[name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] are wonderful - bright, charming and lively! [name_u]Briar[/name_u] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] is my third choice
I think it’s only worth finding an honour if you a) have someone you really want to honour and b) find an honour that you like
I agree! I think the “honor” comes from the fact that I really love the name
[name_u]Briar[/name_u] [name_f]Madeline[/name_f] is a recent crush of mine! I do wonder about the repeating hard i sounds with [name_u]Levi[/name_u] and [name_u]Briar[/name_u].
I think the other sounds are different enough and they don’t feel stylistically matchy so [name_u]Levi[/name_u] and [name_u]Briar[/name_u] work despite the shared hard i (Sarai and [name_u]Levi[/name_u], [name_f]Lyra[/name_f] and [name_u]Levi[/name_u], [name_f]Lila[/name_f] and [name_u]Levi[/name_u], [name_f]Eliza[/name_f] and [name_u]Levi[/name_u] for example might feel more matchy for example)
[name_u]Briar[/name_u] and [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] are my faves!
I probably would try harder (lol) for honours in there. I think [name_f]Diana[/name_f] could work as middles for both. Maybe [name_u]Briar[/name_u] [name_f]Diane[/name_f] & [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Diana[/name_f].
I was split between [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] [name_f]Violet[/name_f] and and [name_f]Della[/name_f] [name_u]June[/name_u] - and here is why
To me [name_f]Tessa[/name_f] feels old, familiar but not overused like [name_u]Levi[/name_u] . But Carrie’s the double letter like [name_u]Griffin[/name_u]
I like [name_f]Della[/name_f] because it feels very unique and could be a subtle honour using a D name to honour [name_f]Diane[/name_f] but also provides the individuality
I know, haha! I think I would feel bad if I didn’t have some sort of honor name for a little sister, especially since [name_u]Levi[/name_u] and Griffin’s middle names have so much meaning to us.
She’s from [name_u]Chicago[/name_u] actually and I think she’s mostly popular in the US, but if [name_f]Violet[/name_f] is the middle name it shouldn’t be a big deal.
